I still don't understand why they had to switch Marucho and Shun's partners again in MS arc 2, like fucking hell guys. It hasn't even been a season yet 😭
Especially confused on Shun cuz like...Jaakor is just...a more jacked Taylean??? You could have just had him evolve or something. He could easily pass as an evolution. Big green robot ninja with knuckle canons. Cmon...
Also makes very little sense as to why their previous partners would even leave.
Ingram and Elfin were somewhat temporary partners so they could save the main 6, Hawktor and Aquomos were also temporary partners and were native to Neathia, but....Taylean and Tristar? They CHOSE to be partners, because they WANTED to. Not because they had some world ending threat they needed help. They just clicked with Shun and Marucho and took part in friendly tournaments, tournaments that CONTINUED after the events of arc 1.
